Abstract

An alignment coating structure for a substrate includes at least one substrate, and each of the substrates has a blind via; an alignment plate has at least one opening; the alignment plate covers on the substrate; the opening corresponds to the blind via; and a printing mechanism for transferring polyimide liquid on the alignment plate to a region out of the blind via on the substrate according to a preset printing direction. An alignment coating method for a substrate, including disposing an opening on an alignment plate makes the opening face a blind via in alignment coating. This makes the location where the blind via will not be printed by polyimide liquid, thereby increasing the liquid crystal arrangement randomness of the location where the blind via is, making the optical path be scattered to a certain extent, thereby prevent from occurrence of a Newton's ring or a rainbow pattern.
